Inserting pdf page into powerpoint - help

[Cowtoon]

I've got a pdf file that I want to insert into powerpoint. I used Acrobat's
screen capture, but after pasting it into powerpoint, it looks yukky. I
enlarged the pdf (on my screen) as much as I can which improves the image,
but doesn't make it good. The original pdf prints fine.

Is it possible to insert the pdf pages directly into powerpoint?

Thanks.

Yes, I have Acrobat ... didn't realize I could export as png or similar.
I'll try that.
I only had the zoom at 100 ... as big as I could "see" ... obviously not big
enough. I knew that size mattered, but it's difficult to "drag" the mouse
and see what your selecting at that size. Is there a trick I'm missing
there?

Well, well, well, .. I'd never had thought to select then zoom (and I
usually come up with some strange workarounds). I like it. Thanks.

Yes: Select first, then zoom.

Damnnnn ... increasing the zoom to 400 puts me out of ram. Boooooo.

I was wrong.
It was 800 that didn't blew out of ram. 400 works and will suffice for what
I need.
Thanks again.
